It should be noted that, implementations provided by the embodiments of the present application can be combined with one another if there is no conflict.

Before explaining the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, in order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the present application first specifically describes the problems existing in the related art.

In the related art, there is a level fluctuation of a control node of an output module. It is found by the Inventor after study that, the control node of the output module is affected by levels of other nodes in a floating state, which causes the level fluctuation of the control node of the output module, thereby affecting the output stability. In addition, because a clock signal frequently switches between a high level and a low level, the level of the control node of the output module fluctuates, thereby affecting the output stability.

In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a shift register and a method for driving the shift register, a light-emission control circuit, and a display panel. Embodiments of the shift register and the method for driving the shift register, the light-emission control circuit, and the display panel will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, a shift register according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the shift register may include an input module 11, a control module 12, a pull-up module 13, an output module 14 and a maintenance module 15.

The input module 11 is connected to an input end IN, a first clock end CK, a first level end VGL, a first node N1 and a second node N2. The input module 11 is configured to control a level of the first node N1 and a level of the second node N2 in response to a level of the input end IN, a level of the first clock end CK and a level of the first level end VGL.

The control module 12 is connected to the first node N1, a third node N3, and a second clock end XCK. The control module 12 is configured to control a level of the third node N3 in response to the level of the first node N1 and a level of the second clock end XCK.

The pull-up module 13 is connected to the second node N2, a second level end VGH, and the third node N3. The pull-up module 13 is configured to transfer a level of the second level end VGH to the third node N3 in response to an active level of the second node N2.

The output module 14 is connected to the second node N2, the third node N3, the first level end VGL, and the second level end VGH. The output module 14 is configured to transfer a first level of the first level end VGL to an output end OUT in response to the active level of the second node N2, or the output module 14 is configured to transfer a second level of the second level end VGH to the output end OUT in response to the active level of the third node N3.

The maintenance module 15 is connected to the second node N2, the first level end VGL, and the second level end VGH. The maintenance module 15 is configured to respond to the level of the second node N2 and maintain the level of the second node N2.

Specifically, the shift register may be applied in a light-emission control circuit. The light-emission control circuit may be applied in a display panel. A signal outputted by the shift register may be configured to control a light-emitting time of sub-pixels in the display panel. The input module 11, the control module 12, the pull-up module 13, the output module 14 and the maintenance module 15 cooperate with each other to realize the control of the output end of the shift register, so as to realize the function of the shift register.

Herein, the first level provided by the first level end VGL may be a low level, and the second level provided by the second level end VGH may be a high level. The input end IN may provide a start signal. The first clock end CK and the second clock end XCK provide clock signals with alternating high and low levels.

Herein, a “level” may also be referred to as a “potential”. The shift register may include a transistor. As used herein, an “active level” may refer to a level at which the transistor can be controlled to be turned on. For example, if the transistor is a P-type transistor, a turn-on level may be a low level; and if the transistor is an N-type transistor, the turn-on level may be a high level. In addition, if the transistor is a P-type transistor, a turn-off level may be a high level; and if the transistor is an N-type transistor, the turn-off level may be a low level.

FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic timing sequence diagram of a shift register according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic flowchart of a method for driving a shift register according to an embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to the shift register of the above embodiment.

The method for driving the shift register according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the structure of the shift register in FIG. 1 and the timing sequence in FIG. 2 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the method for driving the shift register according to an embodiment of the present application includes step 301 to step 306.

At step 301, as shown in a first phase t1, the input end IN provides a high level, the first clock end CK provides a low level, the second clock end XCK provides a high level, the high level of the input end IN is transferred to the second node N2, a low level of the first level end VGL is transferred to the first node N1, the third node N3 is maintained at a low level, and the output end OUT outputs a low level.

At step 302, as shown in a second phase t2, the input end IN provides a high level, the first clock end CK provides a high level, the second clock end XCK provides a low level, the second node N2 is maintained at a high level, the first node N1 is maintained at a low level, the low level of the second clock end XCK is transferred to the third node N3, and the output end OUT outputs a high level.

At step 303, as shown in a third phase t3, the input end IN provides a high level, the first clock end CK provides a low level, the second clock end XCK provides a high level, the high level of the input end IN is transferred to the second node N2, the low level of the first clock end CK and a low level of the first level end VGL are transferred to the first node N1, the third node N3 is maintained at a low level, and the output end OUT outputs a high level.

At step 304, as shown in a fourth phase t4, the input end IN provides a low level, the first clock end CK provides a high level, the second clock end XCK provides a low level, the second node N2 is maintained at a high level, the first node N1 is maintained at a low level, the low level of the second clock end XCK is transferred to the third node N3, and the output end OUT outputs a high level.

At step 305, as shown in a fifth phase t5, the input end IN provides a low level, the first clock end CK provides a low level, the second clock end XCK provides a high level, the low level of the input end IN is transferred to the second node N2, the low level of the first clock end CK and a low level of the first level end VGL are transferred to the first node N1, a high level of the second level end VGH is transferred to the third node N3, and the output end OUT outputs a low level.

At step 306, as shown in a sixth phase t6, the input end IN provides a low level, the first clock end CK provides a high level, the second clock end XCK provides a low level, the second node N2 is maintained at a low level, the high level of the first clock end CK is transferred to the first node N1, a high level of the second level end VGH is transferred to the third node N3, and the output end OUT outputs a low level.

In the shift register and the method for driving the shift register according to embodiments of the present application, since the maintenance module 15 can respond to the level of the second node N2 and maintain the level of the second node N2, the second node N2 can be prevented from being affected by levels of other nodes in a floating state. In addition, the maintenance module 15 is not connected with the clock signal end, which can also prevent the second node N2 from being affected by the clock signal being frequently switching between a high level and a low level, thus improving the level stability of the second node N2, thereby improving the output stability.

In some optional implementations, the maintenance module 15 may be specifically configured to: transfer the second level of the second level end VGH to the second node N2 in response to the high level of the second node N2; and stop signal outputting in response to the low level of the second node N2, to maintain the low level of the second node N2. In an embodiment of the present application, the second level of the second level end VGH may be a high level, and when the second node N2 is at the high level, the level transferred by the maintenance module 15 to the second node N2 is still the high level, such that the second node N2 can be stably maintained at the high level; when the second node N2 is at the low level, the maintenance module 15 no longer transfers signals to the second node N2, such that the second node N2 can be stably maintained at the low level.

In some optional implementations, as shown in FIG. 4 , the maintenance module 15 may include a first transistor M1, a second transistor M2 and a third transistor M3. The first transistor M1, the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 may all be P-type transistors.

A first terminal of the first transistor M1 is connected to a fourth node N4, and a second terminal of the first transistor M1 and a gate of the first transistor M1 are both connected to the first level end VGL.

A first terminal of the second transistor M2 is connected to the second level end VGH, a second terminal of the second transistor M2 is connected to the fourth node N4, and a gate of the second transistor M2 is connected to the second node N2.

A first terminal of the third transistor M3 is connected to the second level end VGH, a second terminal of the third transistor M3 is connected to the second node N2, and a gate of the third transistor M3 is connected to the fourth node N4.

In an example, the first terminal of the first transistor M1, the first terminal of the second transistor M2, and the first terminal of the third transistor M3 may be sources, and the second terminal of the first transistor M1, the second terminal of the second transistor M2, and the second terminal of the third transistor M3 may be drains.

When the second node N2 is at the high level, the first transistor M1 is turned on, the second transistor M2 is turned off, the fourth node N4 is at the low level, the third transistor M3 is turned on, the second level (high level) of the second level end VGH is transferred to the second node N2, and the second node N2 is maintained at the high level.

When the second node N2 is at the low level, both the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are turned on. The inventor has found that, when the transistor is turned off, the transistor can be equivalent to a resistor with an infinite resistance value, and when the transistor is turned on, the transistor can be equivalent to a resistor with a small resistance value. The sizes of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 can be set, such that when both the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are turned on, with the voltage division by the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, the fourth node N4 is at the high level, so that the third transistor M3 is turned off (that is, the third transistor M3 is locked), the low level of the second node N2 is latched, and the second node N2 is maintained at the low level.

The inventor has also found that, a resistance value of a transistor when the transistor is turned on is inversely related to a width to length ratio of a channel of the transistor. For example, the resistance value of the transistor when the transistor is turned on is inversely proportional to the width to length ratio of the channel of the transistor. The greater the width to length ratio of the channel of the transistor is, the less the resistance value of the transistor when the transistor is turned on is. Conversely, the less the width to length ratio of the channel of the transistor is, the greater the resistance value of the transistor when the transistor is turned on is. The width to length ratio of the channel of the transistor is the ratio of the channel width to the channel length of the transistor.

In an example, a ratio of the width to length ratio of the channel of the second transistor M2 to the width to length ratio of the channel of the first transistor M1 is a first ratio K1. An absolute value of a ratio of a voltage of a signal end connected to the first terminal of the first transistor M1 to a voltage of a signal end connected to the first terminal of the second transistor M2 is a second ratio K2. The first ratio K1 may be set as being greater than the second ratio K2.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the signal end connected to the first terminal of the first transistor M1 is the first level end VGL, and the signal end connected to the first terminal of the second transistor M2 is the second level end VGH. For example, the level of the first level end VGL is −7V, the level of the second level end VGH is 8V, and the second ratio K2 is equal to 7/8.

For example, the first ratio K1 may be equal to 1, the resistance values of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are equal when both the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are turned on, the level of the first level end VGL is −7V, the level of the second level end VGH is 8V, the division voltages of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are the same, and the voltage of the fourth node N4 is 0.5V, so that the third transistor M3 can be turned off.

In some other optional implementations, the maintenance module 15 may be specifically configured to: transfer the first voltage of the first level end VGL to the second node N2 in response to the low level of the second node N2; and stop signal outputting in response to the high level of the second node N2, to maintain the high level of the second node N2. In an embodiment of the present application, the first level of the first level end VGL may be the low level. When the second node N2 is at the low level, the level transferred by the maintenance module 15 to the second node N2 is still the low level, such that the second node N2 can be stably maintained at the low level. When the second node N2 is at the high level, the maintenance module 15 no longer transfers signals to the second node N2, such that the second node N2 can be stably maintained at the high level.

In some optional implementations, as shown in FIG. 5 , the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 included in the maintenance module 15 may all be N-type transistors.

Specifically, the first terminal of the first transistor M1 is connected to the fourth node N4, and the second terminal of the first transistor M1 and the gate of the first transistor M1 are both connected to the second level end VGH.

The first terminal of the second transistor M2 is connected to the first level end VGL, the second terminal of the second transistor M2 is connected to the fourth node N4, and the gate of the second transistor M2 is connected to the second node N2.

The first terminal of the third transistor M3 is connected to the first level end VGL, the second terminal of the third transistor M3 is connected to the second node N2, and the gate of the third transistor M3 is connected to the fourth node N4.

When the second node N2 is at the low level, the first transistor M1 is turned on, the second transistor M2 is turned off, the fourth node N4 is at the high level, the third transistor M3 is turned on, the first level (low level) of the first level end VGL is transferred to the second node N2, and the second node N2 is maintained at the low level.

When the second node N2 is at the high level, both the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are turned on. Similarly, when the transistor is turned off, the transistor can be equivalent to a resistor with an infinite resistance value, and when the transistor is turned on, the transistor can be equivalent to a resistor with a small resistance value. The sizes of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 can be set, such that when both the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are turned on, with voltage division by the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, the fourth node N4 is at the low level, so that the third transistor M3 is turned off (that is, the third transistor M3 is locked), the high level of the second node N2 is latched, and the second node N2 is maintained at the high level.

In an example, a ratio of the width to length ratio of the channel of the second transistor M2 to the width to length ratio of the channel of the first transistor M1 is a first ratio K1. An absolute value of a ratio of a voltage of a signal end connected to the first terminal of the first transistor M1 to a voltage of a signal end connected to the first terminal of the second transistor M2 is a second ratio K2. The first ratio K1 may be set as being greater than the second ratio K2.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the signal end connected to the first terminal of the first transistor M1 is the first level end VGL, and the signal end connected to the first terminal of the second transistor M2 is the first level end VGL. For example, the level of the first level end VGL is −7V, the level of the second level end VGH is 8V, and the second ratio K2 is equal to 8/7.

For example, the first ratio K1 may be equal to 2. When both the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are turned on, the resistance value of the first transistor M1 is twice the resistance value of the second transistor M2. The level of the first level end VGL is −7V, the level of the second level end VGH is 8V, the division voltage value of the first transistor M1 is 10V, the division voltage value of the second transistor M2 is 5V, and the voltage of the fourth node N4 is −2V, such that the third transistor M3 can be turned off.

In some other optional implementations, the maintenance module 15 may be specifically configured to: transfer the second level of the second level end VGH to the second node N2 in response to the high level of the second node N2; transfer the first level of the first level end VGL to the second node N2 in response to the low level of the second node N2. In an embodiment of the present application, the second level of the second level end VGH may be the high level. When the second node N2 is at the high level, the level transferred by the maintenance module 15 to the second node N2 is still the high level, such that the second node N2 can be stably maintained at the high level. The first level of the first level end VGL can be the low level. When the second node N2 is at the low level, the signals transferred by the maintenance module 15 to the second node N2 are still at the low level, such that the second node N2 can be stably maintained at the low level.

In some optional implementations, as shown in FIG. 6 , the maintenance module 15 may include a fourth transistor M4, a fifth transistor M5, a sixth transistor M6 and a seventh transistor M7. The fourth transistor M4 and the sixth transistor M6 may both be P-type transistors. The fifth transistor M5 and the seventh transistor M7 may both be N-type transistors.

A gate of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to the second node N2, a first terminal of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to the fifth node N5, and a second terminal of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to the first level end VGL.

A gate of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the second node N2, a first terminal of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the fifth node N5, and a second terminal of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the second level end VGH.

A gate of the sixth transistor M6 is connected to the fifth node N5, a first terminal of the sixth transistor M6 is connected to the second node N2, and a second terminal of the sixth transistor M6 is connected to the first level end VGL.
